If Yo-Yo Ma merged with Yoko Ono and Chasity Bono, as well as the rocker Bono, he’d be Yo-Yo Ono Bono Bono Ma.

Went to an Aretha Franklin concert with a biology student friend of mine who kept inadvertently calling here “Urethra” Franklin. I was mortified, yet amused.

Aretha is a lady and a great musician. Yo-Yo Ma’s cello leaves me utterly unmoved.
